Truth in Journalism

October 17, 2005by John Pleasnick

On Friday’s east coast edition of NBC’s Today Show, a bit of staged journalism became evident…

While appearing to be paddling along in a canoe and making a report on flooding in Wayne, NJ, two men walked between the camera & the reporter in the canoe — making apparent that the water surrounding the canoe was only ankle-deep.
